Weekend #Tarot #astrology 3 Wands and 8 Wands. Snapshot in time. Whatever deck you're using, it's a study exercise. Draw cards in the morning, review in the evening, personal level and in the news.
Author’s own cards: Thoth Tarot
3 Wands or 8 Wands stand alone as positive cards but combinations count. ere we are looking at a double dose of FIRE energy in airy Gemini season= solar flares, electric storms or combustion, literally or metaphorically. The cards are showing Aries action + Sagittarius long reach and long range. At home, you may have been a busy bee-or a bit stressed. News/comms travelling fast. But these cards say you get unstuck. Forward momentum.
Globally 3 Wands = trade, exports. 8 Wands=swift actions, sudden developments.
AND the moon was in Sagittarius Saturday. Now moved into Capricorn until tomorrow night (Monday in the UK.)
-China will doubtless be bombarding Taiwan with many more sweet talking "messages."
-Terrible tragic landslide in Papua New Guinea. 670+ dead/missing
-Air turbulence. 12 (?) hurt Qatar Airways. Doha to Dublin (solar flares?)
-In Pozzuoli: Super volcano Campi Flegrei is awake and growling. A 4.4 earthquake last Monday night drove people out of their houses in terror. (Solar flares again?) I associate the Knight Wands with eruptions (like the 8 Wands, this card is also Sagittarius.)
Last time it erupted (1538) the ash cloud reached Russia- which yesterday bombed a DIY store in Kharkiv. Bravo Putin. A 12 year old girl and her mother. Four fragments of bodies to be identified. Oh well done. The heroes of Stalingrad would be so proud.
Sweden and the UK are allowing Ukraine to use weaponry against Russia, that has been supplied to Ukraine by UK and Sweden, if it is used in compliance with international law. The US is *said* to be reconsidering its position.
-Hamas has fired missiles into Tel Aviv and alleges it has captured an unknown number of Israeli soldiers, which Israel denies. Recently, bodies found of 3 dead Israeli hostages. The Israeli army has bombed a displacement camp in NW Rafah, 45 Palestinians reported killed, the number is rising.
So sad. All of it. We are in a year of the Dragon. OK, this year it is the Wood Dragon. It is somewhat less belligerent and more open to reason than the other Dragons in the Chinese zodiac.
But still, it is a dragon.
Context is key for getting at specifics, aside from when reading the cards purely for meditation purposes. Here, the reader is simply "looking in the glass dimly", not working to any particular brief, just drawing cards at random, taking the temperature, so to speak, and noting any significant real-time, real-world synchronicities.
Often, we won’t like it. Sometimes we may decide we would rather not look.
Thank you for reading.
